IHI mulls ammonia conversion for LNG terminals
Japanese engineering firm will study feasibility of minimally modifying LNG receiving and storage terminals during the second half of this decade
IHI, one of Japan’s largest LNG terminal manufacturers, is investigating the potential for modifying existing terminals near gas-fired plants to receive and store ammonia. The company plans to draw on its corrosion expertise and experimental materials technologies to study the feasibility of minimally modifying these terminals during the second half of this decade. IHI has built just under a third of Japan’s LNG receiving and storage terminals and half of the country’s storage tanks. 2050 – Japan’s target year for net zero Ammonia is rapidly emerging as the preferred carrier for hydrogen. And in Japan, the chemical is being trialled as a fuel for thermal generation in its own right a
